Each remaining owner of Great Lakes Comnet owns less than a 10% equity interest in Great
Lakes Comnet.

Answer to Question 13

        The assignment is to take place as the result of a merger of Westphalia Communications,
Inc. (WCI) and Westphalia Broadband, Inc. (WBI). WCI and WBI are affiliates; each is the
wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinton County Telephone Company (CCTC), which is, in turn, the
wholly owned subsidiary of Great Lakes Comnet, Inc. WCI is scheduled to merge into WBI,
with WBI being the surviving entity, on December 31, 2011. There will be no change in the
actual controlling entity with respect to the services and lines at issue as a result of the merger
because both companies are the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company (CCTC).
The merger is therefore a “pro forma” transaction because the assignment will not result in a
change in the actual controlling a party. No prior approval is required for pro forma transactions
under 47 CFR 63.03(d) or 63.24(d).
